There's nothing more practical than emptying your pockets the moment you get home. The challenge? We often scatter coins, keys, and other essentials throughout the house.
That's why a dedicated organizer is essential to keep things tidy and in one place.
This affordable wooden magazine rack from IKEA makes the perfect catch-all tray. Simply paint it and mount it on the wall in your entryway corner. It's a straightforward project with impressive results:
- 1 wooden magazine rack
- Paint (in your preferred color)
- Wood varnish (optional, for protection)
- 2 screws and 2 washers
1. Paint the magazine rack in your chosen color and let it dry completely.
2. Pre-drill two holes in the bottom of the rack for the screws.
3. Use a level to mark two spots on the wall where you'll drill for the screws.
4. Mount the rack on the wall, securing it with washers to prevent the screw heads from damaging the wood.
5. For added convenience, if there's an outlet nearby, thread a phone charger through the front hole to keep devices powered.
And there you have it! A highly practical storage solution for all your daily essentials right by the door. Easy, budget-friendly, and mess-free—no more hunting for lost keys before heading out.
Mount it in the entryway for quick access when arriving or leaving. If painting isn't your style, apply varnish instead for natural protection.
This versatile piece also works great as a bedside organizer in the bedroom.
